We knew it was coming.   FHSAA announces all 2020 spring sports officially canceled, including championship series.

Nothing anyone could do.  I'm really concerned about next year.  You know people are going to complain if they allow sports and there are crowds.  People are crazy and like to complain.

gatorman-uf College Back Up

Assuming no rebounds, I think by August you could see schools and events open back up.

It requires 14 days in each "Phase" so the quickest you make it out of it would be 6 weeks, Florida won't really start until May 1st, so earliest is probably June 15th and really we can expect them to be a little cautious and maybe take 28 days in each phase that opens up by August 1st. 

Gyms (weight room) can open back up once a state gets back to Phase 1, so as long as coaches keep the number of kids in the weight room to a small number by going to morning, afternoon, evening sessions and constant wipe downs. You probably don't have any flag football tournaments or lineman camps, but I see football coming back in August. 

Now, if we see dramatic rise in cases once the restrictions are lifted than all bets are off.

I like the optimistic thinking, gatorman. 

I wouldn't be surprised (and, in fact, would be satisfied) if they gave kids a longer ramp-up period (since they missed spring ball), cut a game or two off the front end of the schedule and started up the regular season in mid-September.   I've said it before and I'll say it again:  boys in Florida really don't need to be playing tackle football in August because of the heat and the evening thunderstorms.   But that's just my opinion.   But, I'll take what I can get this fall.

I like the idea. A regular season shortened by a couple games on the front end, makes a lot of sense.

      The biggest problem at public schools right now is 2 things. One, they are hiring radicals who are more interested in indoctrinating kids with extreme ideologies rather teaching them basic fundamental skills to become well rounded adults. And 2, they are not getting rid of the worst students who take from the kids who want to learn. If kids skip school they should be expelled. Drugs. Expelled. Fights. Expelled. They can stay home and do E-learning. But these public schools keep, and sometimes cover up crimes and poor behavior. Get rid of the kids who don’t want to learn. You gotta tighten the ship

      Better to have some kids thrive, then none. Every kid who goes to a private school and thrives is a net benefit to society. Plus your scenario assumes that the private schools don’t already have great teachers taking up all spots available

      Or the private schools will use their combination of private money and public money (i.e., vouchers) to hire away the best teachers, leaving the rest at the public schools to teach those who don't have the resources -- even with the vouchers -- to send their kids to private schools.  Of course, if this happens, there might be a few folks who will brag that it all worked out the way it was planned.

      Yeah, if you're in a in a program that has accountability and structure the season never really ends. January to August is when you win championships. I just hope the fans understand and respect that. The coaches should be paid accordingly for the time, effort and sacrifice they put in for the school and football program. Oh, and that 100 degree heat aint no joke for the players, trainers and coaches.
